cent publication among other things
with reference to the 5th Dist. beat
meeting that early ON that day it was
apparent to US that anumber of men
were present intending to vote who
had no right to do SO - that they de-
termined there upon in caucus to sub
init to the meeting certain resolution
and If it was adopted they would
abide the result, if not they would or
ganize another convention. The truth is
there was nothing Objectionable in the
resolution, but being offered before a
primary organization was effected we
thought then and think now, it was
premature. BE that as il may however
the resolution WAS voted down, the con-
tingency occurred upon the happening
ofwhieh they had determined to organ
ize another convention. Yet they con-
tinued to vote and otherwise partici-
pate in the convention, the result of
which they had determined before
hand not to abide. Was this acting in
good faith towards their opponents 2
" lie who inyokes equity should do
esquity.' 1t strikes me that these
gentlemen to whom Capt AS brother
appeals for confirmation of his theory
of the matter have great reason to
pray to be delivered from such injudi-
cious friends. You charged that with
out reason or alleged preteIt one
fourth of those assembled in the 9th
District Precinct meeting after its for
NAL adjournment selected q eontesting
delegation and Capt. AS brother "
rushes into print to defend them. Now
how much has he improved the situa-
tion You simply charged factious op-
position, whereas HE admits an utter
lack of good faith throughout. Were
| one of those gentlemen | should
want {" Capt. AS brother to " rise and
explain !. Children of too tender
years should not handle edged TOOLS
Capt. AS brother should eschow the
use of the pen hereafter. 1t is an awk.
ward weapon in unskilled hands. One
would infer from his language that nc
ballot was had, whereas there was {
ballot for permanent chairman; L. L
Allen receiving AZ votes and Col. j. w
Griffin Is. Whether were there as h
says"men present intending to vote wh'
had no right to do so or whose righ
at least was questionable neithe
know nor care. None such voted will

His allusion TO the so called mid
night convention was peculiarly infeli
tious. The cases are not parallel il
any sense. That was . meeting by
authority of the District.Dem. Execu
tive Committee to nominate Delegates
to county convention to send dele
gates to district convention to nomi
nate a candidate for Congress. Demo
Gratis went to that meeting supposing i
to be Democratic meeting, but thu
following Resolution was introduced
and passed over their earnest protest
Whereas, Honest, respectable, patri.
otic representation in Congress is al
that we demand, and whereas the Re
publican party has confessedly ma
jority of many thousands in this dis
trict and the district can only be car
ried by the Democracy if worthy
candidate is named by that party by ,
resort to means unworthy Of us ant
in no sense justified by the exigenciei
of the occasion. Therefore be it re
solved by the Democracy of the 5tl
District of Issaquena county that thu
hasty action of those who called tn,
meeting for to-day, the county Con
vention for the 9th and tho Congress
sional Convention for the 10th, so fa
in advance of the election and of al,
action by the opposition, was illadyise,
and not approved.
Resolved further that we will TAX
no action in the matter until latel
day, when we can act more advisedly
and a delegation of eight be appointed
to present the above to the convention
| Whereupon those who did not ap
prove of thus abandoning the Demo
cratic organization, who did not be
lieve in little beat meeting of the 81
District presuming to dictate what til
action of the party in this coonty an
congressional District should be, with
drew, organized another meeting an,
sent delegates to the county convention
which convention it seems this cor
spiracy, for it can be regarded in n
other light, had strong hope Of carry
ing, as be says BY that means to
they got control Of the county CONVEX
tion.n So that had not that 30 cslle
midnight convention been held Iss'
, quena would have been taken out {
